Bingham, Ryan - Country Roads Lyrics






Do you really think you know,
Exactly where I stand,
Or did I just let you down,
When you found out I was just a poor man,
I might of took a few wrong turns,
Down a few wrong roads,
Wound up in a few wrong towns,
Where nobody cares or goes.

It ain't that I can't see,
Or find my way home,
It's just that I like to breathe,
Out on country roads.

I've never been much on down town,
Or cared for a place to stay,
I know I'll never wear a crown,
I'll never be a king of slaves,
Wash my hands in the rain,
I've spent my time with the whiskey,
I'll never give up on change,
Or give a damn if you will ever miss me.

It ain't that I can't see,
Or find my way home,
It's just that I like to breathe,
Out on country roads.

I know I'll never stick around.
I'll never lose track of time,
Or worry about a little old town,
Or what I might of left behind,
I'll just let the sun shine down,
I'll just let them big wheels roll,
Keep on running around,
Big old country roads.

It ain't that I can't see,
Or find my way home,
It's just that I like to breathe,
Out on country roads.

    His voice is soft rust slowly flaking away on a once beautiful, shiny classic truck. A dusty throat whispering our small town secret, American fears, and courage.

    Do you really think you know
    Exactly where I stand?
    Or did I just let you down
    When you found out I was just a poor man?
    I might of took a few wrong turns
    Down a few wrong roads
    Wound up in a few wrong towns
    Where nobody cares or goes
    It ain't that I can't see
    Or find my way home
    It's just that I like to breath
    Out on country roads
    I've never been much on down town
    Or cared for a place to stay
    I know I'll never wear no crown
    I'll never be a king of slaves
    Wash my hands in the rain
    I've spent my time with the whiskey
    I'll never give up on change
    Or give a damn if you will ever miss me
    It ain't that I can't see
    Or find my way home
    It's just that I like to breath
    Out on country roads
    I know I'll never stick around
    I'll never lose track of time
    Or worry about a little old town
    Or what I might of left behind
    I'll just let the sun shine down
    I'll just let them big wheels roll
    Keep on running around
    Them old country roads
    It ain't that I can't see
    Or find my way home
    It's just that I like to breath
    Out on country roads

  27. K.... G....

    Ryan Bingham by far the greatest country singers to date. Only person that cares about what country was. Keep it going brother thank you

  28. B.... R....

    See you August 5th Ryan!!!!

  29. m.... ....

    0:18 Man, that guy is the COOLEST. Ha.

  30. M.... 1....

  31. J.... H....

    I miss my home. I miss Montana.

  35. E.... W....

    All this pop country out there it's nice to hear some true heart country music

    E.... W....

    South side

  36. R.... C....

    Kinda cute though.

  37. R.... C....

    Kinda reminds me of Tom Petty except less talented.

    R.... C....

    Rhonda Cliett the most unnecessary comment ever immortalized in the history of useless unnecessary YouTube comments. damn near broke the useless unnecessary comment section

    R.... C....

    I don't think being honest is unecessary. He's much younger than Tom Petty. Just give him time. Hes just not as talented.

    R.... C....

    Rhonda Cliett you know what Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Ryan Bingham all have in common? The ability to turn three and four chords into great works of music. your musical preferences don't make you right, it just makes you opinionated.

    R.... C....

    Rhonda Cliett RIP.

    R.... C....

    yup. pretty stupid, useless, unnecessary comment. no way around it. no rationalizing it.

  38. L.... w....

    do you have a T-shirt or an online store where we can buy your albums?

  39. A.... L....

    Me encanta la voz de este hombre.

  40. K.... ....

    is this supposed to be country?

    K.... ....

    Kyle Holden you need to be slapped

    K.... ....

    Kyle Holden this is what it is...foot stomping music. What's country since Cash and Waylon are gone? Mainstream bs.

  41. k.... g....

    in Texas we keep it 100%

    k.... g....

    100% dont give a damn what you yanks think

    k.... g....

    ...He's from NM not TX Ol' son

    k.... g....

    @James Dantimo he got here as fast as he could

    k.... g....

    He sold out

    k.... g....

    Sorry Bruh, he's from Hobbs, NM. We don't get to claim him 😔

  42. E.... H....

    Very talented. & a deffinate Dylon comparison which is a compliment of the highest nature

  43. E.... H....

  45. M.... M....

    what yall know bout it

  46. C.... T....

    yep, I hear Dylan in his voice

  47. L.... K....

    This is my jam. Blast it driving down the country road I grew up on. Love visiting home and listening to this— it reminds me that even somewhere I wasn't always happy being— is actually full of so much life and beauty...

    L.... K....

    It reminds me to love all the place on earth as it would be home but never forgetting where I am from and be proud of it.I would never be more happy than on my way and far from the people I know but never forget the origin and home. Occitania, the frenchy Texas ;)

  48. M.... S....

    when i was listening this, i remembered that Bob Dylan once recorded his album at the studio in Nashville. Ryan Bingham, his way of singing is similar to Dylan's way...or should i say Dylan's way of singing is similar to... anyway, this is nice song for me. and i wonder whether i could sing this with my guitar. if i could that leads me happy moment than ever.

    M.... S....

    @Mike McBee taking many advice...good for me...I'm humble one ... I wanna listen from many people

    M.... S....

    I wont lead you astray, sensei. you stick with ryan bingham and the stones, you'll be alright

    M.... S....

    according to straight saying, my favorite one is Beatles ...sorry, Bye~

    M.... S....

    just went down a notch

    M.... S....

    I guess you don't know a good artist. or more so just a wanna be. bye

  49. K.... A....

    I want have your cd &music video

  50. B.... n....

  51. d.... ....

    Ryan is great!  He's the REAL DEAL!  Love Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  52. k.... h....

    Really like Jonh Prine, Neil and Dylan. But he is in good company! Very good sound.

  53. E.... R....

    ill never wear a crown. ill never be a king of slaves

  54. L.... ....

    I miss the old Bingham. Roadhouse Sun and Mescalito were amazing. Now he's an over dramatic hipster, that's trying way too hard.  

    L.... ....

    Does he even play with the Dead Horses anymore?

    L.... ....

    @23mako No. Thats the problem. When he started out it was totally awesome.

    L.... ....

    I´ve been searching for something similar to Roadhouse and Mescalito, but haven't been able to find anything.

    L.... ....

    It eventually happens to all musicians

    L.... ....

    @LoneSomeSong I saw him play in Austin this March. It was a fantastic show, and he played a lot of his stuff from Mescalito and Roadhouse Sun. There was great energy.

  55. T.... ....

    48 people can chew the bark off my big fat log...country at its best.

  56. D.... R....

    This whole album is good.

  57. J.... C....

    Ridiculous comment .... If you don't like Dylan to each his own but to act like Dylan is some kind of hack is just dumb.

  58. M.... T....

    please dont' compare him to bob dylan they aren't even in the same room or building for that matter

  59. M.... P....

    Bravoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  60. D.... ....

    i sow him live in rome he is the big talent meybe i sow that night the future of mainstream music......

  61. M.... F....

    Serendipity ...
    Life is good :)

  62. M.... W....

    one of the most talented and underrated musicians in a long time. he has the writing talent of bob dylan, the drive of bruce springsteen, and a lot of talent. i just know he's gonna break into the mainstream and lead a charge of undiscovered americana singer

  63. b.... ....

    dude i wanna get a cowboy hat . drink some whiskey to this

  64. B.... T....

    What I like is that his voice is very distinct besides being good. We lost the "Possum"
    yesterday. One of those very distinct voices. Most of today's voices and songs are
    cookie cutter. I hardly listen to radio anymore. I have to go searching for the good stuff!
    Thanks Ryan!!!!

  65. B.... a....

    this is real country music without all that processed shit

  66. R.... J....

    This is Americana, not country.

  67. D.... M....

    I'd like to dedicate that first line to my ex-girlfriend.

    Do you really think you know,
    Exactly where I stand,
    Or did I just let you down,
    When you found out I was just a poor man

  68. T.... ....

    What are Bieber and Minaj doing in my Country music?

  69. E.... ....

    i like country music because the lyrics are about a real mans life

  70. B.... G....

    stop starring at me Nicki Minaj.......just don't

  71. D.... M....

    Could not agree more.

  72. R.... H....

    I respect your opinion and disagree full heartily. This isn't any CMT media machine cash cow. This is red dirt country with a lot of power.

  73. S.... ....

    Every song he does just gets better and better but Bread and Water is still probably one of my favs ever!

  74. S.... ....

    hell yeah!!! Ryan Bingham is freaking awesome!!! if you don't like that then don't fucking listen to it!! you wouldn't know real good country if it hit you in the face! so get over yourself! don't hate on someone else because i HIGHLY doubt that you could do anything NEAR as good as what he does!

  75. F.... ....

    Can I have him? :)

  76. s.... ....

    Please stop with the Nicki Minaj picture. It makes me sick!

  77. D.... ....

    Yeah that's a great song. I'll agree

  78. C.... h....

    my favorite song is the wandering so im gonna say junky star

  79. C.... h....

    if he is lets hope hes gets to the east coast not saying nashville just touring places here minnesota the dakotas etc texas new mex ariz and okies arent the only ones who enjoy real country

  80. D.... ....

    I agree that;s my favorite too.

  81. P.... C....

    I can honestly say this is the best country I've ever heard...

  82. N.... L....

    hmmm really good song and i love the fact he kinda looks like tickle from moonshiners

  83. D.... ....

    Mescalito, Roadhouse Sun or Junky Star which is your favorite?

  84. k.... d....

    @reddirtanthem25 hey will be in dallas st. patricks day.........party

  85. j.... w....

    So much better than this pop country shit nowadays

  86. L.... B....

    @cbatt13 keith urban is ok...but this is motherfucking good country...there are less and less true country artists as far as i know there's still jamey johnson, josh turner(bitty modern), if you could suggest me other names that would be great

  87. p.... ....

    Ryan Binghams music is so good, i just fall into a trans listening to it

  88. J.... W....

    Sound's like Traveling Wilburys

  89. b.... s....

    @Androidbrotherhood1 haha in my opinion I really think this song is horrible.. I can see someone liking this style, but not me. peace bro stay up

  90. A.... ....

    @randomhatemail eirc church is pretty good but i like ryans style and sound better but yea eric church is fine

  91. r.... ....

    ryan learned to play as a teenager from his mariachi neighbor who he used to shoot whiskey and snort coke with... now if thats not the stuff of legend!!!

  92. r.... ....

    godamn this song rocks

  93. b.... s....

    @Androidbrotherhood1 no.. not really. eric church is 25x better

  94. A.... ....

    @randomhatemail jealous bro lol

  95. E.... b....

    all the 309,357 views are mine and all the 16 dislikes are my neighbors

  96. b.... s....
